Hi my client is asking that it is possible to Send Push notification in android without google account and free also sending to all not 1,000 per request
I have checked GCM but they have limit
and also what if i made my own server which will send request to server every second will it crash the server ??
Thanks
Sorry I don't mean to advertise, but this works flawless for me:
I use a free service called Parse, its pretty easy to push notifications to android as well as iOS devices. The tutorial is pretty easy, check it out.

I have set up push notification from Firebase console and I can send push notifications. However, I cannot send device-to-device notification yet. As I gather I would need an external app server that would observe Firebase nodes for change and then would fire off a notification via FCM.
I have seen similar question in SO here and a good but brief and not so complete explanation by Frank van Puffelen here. But I am still quite confused. Any tutorial or help as to how I can set up an app server (XMPP here) that would do the communication between client app instances and Firebase for sending notification when ChildAdded or modified and handling the key exchanges would be appreciated. (as I understand, FCM needs XMPP protocol for sending upstream notification)
Any help would be appreciated.
Following this tutorial.
Send Notifications from Server
What you can do is, setup an external server using your favorite technology to listen child_added or changed and respond to the notification requests.
We used the node.js app engine to handle this. Again the funda is to move people to use other cloud paid services.
Yours it's a good question... The firebase can't send push device-to-device, then if you want to do this one, needs a app server as you said. The other possibility that I thought for a long time is a create a independent service to do two things, the first one is constantly controls events as onChildAdded, for exemple and the second one, throws local notifications.
This is solution that i think works fine before to create a app server... At final if you try to do it, explain us your experience please! Greetings!
I want to implement an instant messagign service analogously to whatsapp.
The messages are delivered, even thoug sender and receiver do not need to be online at the same time.
Is there a framework existing to do so (btw I use a linux server). Is the Google Clouse Service suitable for this? Thank you
Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) is a service that manages small messages to / from android. It does require users to be using google play.
What makes it so cool is they will manage the connections for you. They will queue stuff up for a period of up to four weeks, and after that will send a message telling you that its been more than weeks, and you will need to process a new request to obtain the original messages again.
Its a free service. There are some rate limits, but they seem pretty reasonable. i.e. You can't use it for sending frequent game moves, but its totally fine for normal text messages. As I understand it, GCM is only a server interface. You will have to roll your own XMPP server to store and manage messages. Note: there is a payload limit on GCM messages, I think its 4k or so... not big enough for images. You'd have to manage those via http, and send image names via GCM.
They will also broadcast messages to users (1000 at a time). Did I mention this is a free service?
Something like this link will get you started. The API keys thing and registration #'s is sorta confusing. Once you figure that out, it all works. You can test to your emulator via curl messages to the google server, etc..
Oh, and GCM also keeps track of all your user analytics as well..
You can try openfire. It has offline message and everything. Server can be hosted in linux as well.
There is Layer (Android and iOS support for the moment)
Hey Checkout this easy way to implement chat
Quickblox Api
I'm making a NodeJS server and an Android app that goes with it. I need to send alerts to my mobile app users that's coming from the web server. Something like a a chat app on the server and the android users getting the messages also (Facebook messenger?).
I have the server ready and Android app communicating to its database (for user login/getting user info/etc) using REST. I just need to figure out how to send info to the Android app WITH THE SERVER INITIATING COMMUNICATION. Any advice on where to start?
Start by looking at Google Cloud Messaging.
It's a free service that accepts messages from your server-based program and queues it to be sent to phones with your app when the phones are online.
Here is the overview on Android Developers.
YES!
Working with NodeJS, you have probably already heard of Socket.IO.
I'd say: Start there!
For your app to communicate with the server, there's also the java lib. These are great tools to start making any good real time service.
After you get along with this, you should also check GCM as #krisLarson suggested. And talkign about GCM, you have Node-GCM to make your work even easier.
Good luck!
I'm making an Android application and I want to get notifications like in WhatsApp – as the message comes. If any updates are made on the server then a notification should come to the user so he can check the application. Any help would be appreciated.
Firstly you need to integrate GCM with your system, so application need to get sender_id from google and put it to your server. Then if you want to invoke notification on your app you need to send message using this sender_id.
Here you can find nice tutorial. If you will have any question just give me a word.
I hope it would help you
You need to use Google Cloud Messaging. With it you can send information from a server to an Android device. The Android device will be waiting for messages from the server instead of polling the server at timed intervals.
I am new to the push notification subjet for android and I have an application with a .net web server as well as a remote database. I want to send a notification to all users which opens in a new intent. I have read about GCM and other third party platforms, but I was confused when they mention device registration ID, as I do not know how to get all the ids of all devices installing the app I am developping. Any straightforward tutorial or code helping me solve the confusion please.
Thank you in advance.
May be this can not provide complete answer to your question asked. But still it can help you.
GCM process works in this way.
at the first launch, your application will get the registration id from Google GCM server and give it to application server. Now the application server has all the registration ids in which your app is running.
Now you can easily dispatch push message for all devices.
